If that's correct, I think people on the beta program really should report it as a bug, irrespective of the fact that a Message-ID is not technically mandatory. After all, it's not inconceivable that this simply a coding error rather than something that has been removed deliberately. According to RFC2822, Though optional, every message SHOULD have a "Message-ID:" field. According to RFC2119, SHOULD This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course. Almost certainly, if removing the Message-ID generation code was deliberate, the programmer/designer did not understand the full implications.
